B.S., In re (2021) C091678 C091678; filed 6/18/21. ![[Files/CaseFiles/C091678.PDF]] [Opinion PDF](https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/C091678.PDF) ## Rule excerpts De facto parent standing; following In re P.L. (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 1357 and the dissent in In re Vincent M. (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 943. Removal occurred before termination of parental rights; the court distinguished prospective-adoptive-parent protections and posttermination writ review (p. 10, fn. 2). > We agree with In re P.L. and the dissent in Vincent M. While de facto parents may feel aggrieved and, no doubt, may be emotionally affected by court orders affecting the custody of a minor, a de facto parent has no standing to appeal a custody decision because they cannot show how their legal rights were injuriously affected. — B.S., In re (2021) C091678, slip op., p. 10.
